What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate radiation dose rates expressed in the legacy unit rad per second into the modern SI unit milligray per second. It is useful for interpreting and working with radiation measurements across various fields where these units are applied.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Input a radiation dose rate value in rad/second
  • Select the output unit as milligray/second
  • Execute the conversion to obtain the equivalent dose rate in mGy/s

Key Features

  • Converts rad/second to milligray/second accurately using established conversion rates
  • Supports dose rate data relevant to medical, industrial, and radiological applications
  • Browser-based tool that is easy to use for quick radiation unit translation

Examples

  • 2 rad/s is equivalent to 20 mGy/s
  • 0.5 rad/s converts to 5 mGy/s

Common Use Cases

  • Translating legacy radiation dose rate data into SI units for consistent reporting
  • Calibrating radiation measurement instruments using recognized dose rate units
  • Assessing radiation dose rates in medical therapy, industrial and environmental scenarios

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify instrument readings when converting between legacy and SI units
  • Understand that rad is a legacy unit gradually replaced by gray-based units
  • Use this tool to assist in safety assessments and dose rate monitoring

Limitations

  • Rad unit is a non-SI legacy measure and its use is declining
  • Conversion accuracy depends on assuming uniform radiation absorption and known unit relations
  • Dose rate values may vary due to measurement conditions and equipment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the conversion factor from rad/second to milligray/second?
1 rad/second equals 10 milligray/second according to the established conversion rate.

Why convert rad/second to milligray/second?
Converting to milligray/second allows using the modern SI unit gray, enabling consistent measurement and reporting.

In which fields is this conversion commonly used?
This conversion is important in medical radiation therapy, radiological protection, nuclear industry, and emergency response.

Key Terminology

rad/second [rd/s, rad/s]
A legacy unit of absorbed radiation dose rate indicating one rad delivered each second; 1 rad = 0.01 joule per kilogram.
milligray/second [mGy/s]
A unit of absorbed radiation dose rate representing 10^-3 gray per second; the gray is the SI unit of absorbed dose.
gray (Gy)
The SI unit of absorbed radiation dose, equivalent to one joule of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of matter.
